.

We offer bow hunters a great opportunity to hunt with archery, both out of blinds and spot and stalk. For bow hunting, the best time to take advantage of the spot and stalk hunt is when our brush is high. Archery spot and stalk hunts are best from April Thru December. We bow hunt all year however, but from January thru March, best success for archery hunting is from a blind.

.

We also offer rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader and black powder hunts for hog hunting year round.

And don't forget that you can add an exotic buck or doe to your hog hunt. Please call the ranch for pricing.

Our main lodge is located at 9491 Highway 97 East, Gonzales, Gonzales County, Texas 78629, approximately 75 miles SE of Austin. We are about 75 miles east of San Antonio, Texas and 120 miles West of Houston, Texas. The main lodge consists of 265 game-fenced acres, and has exotic animals from all over the world, as well as wild hogs. Most hog hunts take place at this location.

.

When available and when booked in advance, additional ranches in the area can be hunted for a trespass fee of $49/hunter/ranch. Additional kill fees of $100.00/hog apply, with no additional trophy fees for larger hogs.

The javelina and whitetail deer hunts we offer occur in South Texas near Laredo, which features different ranches ranging in size from 500 to 1500 acres and are both game fenced and free-range hunts.

THE HUNT

Hunts begin at different times, based on the seasons. Verify the exact starting time of your hunt. All hunts are subject to availability.

Our hog hunts are not fully guided,(except package 4) but rather semi-guided. This means your guides will drop you off and pick you up from the blinds, pick up your game, and advise you on the best hiding places to find hogs on your spot and stalk. Some hunters prefer to drive their own vehicle to the blind, and this is allowed. We do offer fully guided hunts for exotics, unless other arrangements are made.

.

THE GAME

HOGS: The hogs range in type from wild, feral, domestic to any combination of the three. The ferociousness of these animals varies throughout any given year or season. Sizes of hogs also vary, ranging from newborn to mature adults. The hog densities are always sufficient for the number of hunters present to take their bag limit, however there are no harvest guarantees on hogs except package 4, and not all hunters harvest hogs.

VARMINTS: Hunting predators and varmints is an extra activity that is not priced into any package and is provided at no charge. Varmints include, but are not limited to Bobcat, Coyote, Fox, Possum, Armadillo, Raccoon, Rabbit, Ringtail Cat. There are no guarantees of harvest success with any native predator or varmint. Success is based on conditions such as weather, time of year, breeding cycles, hunter skill (or lack thereof), and of course, luck.

Ringtail Cat

.

Weapons of choice for the hog hunt include .270 rifles or bigger, blackpowder, pistol, shotgun with slugs, or archery. Varmints and predators are best taken with small caliber rifles if you plan on mounting them.
